Who could be this year's surprise contributors?

Who will be the 2015 version of George Johnson for the Detroit Lions?

The Lions signed Johnson last April as a camp body to help fill out their 90-man roster, but then Johnson started making plays, which earned more reps, and resulted in him making even more plays. When it was all said and done, Johnson played in 16 games for the Lions last year and finished third on the team with six sacks.

His play last season earned him a three-year, $9 million contract with Tampa Bay this offseason.

So which players on the Lions current 90-man roster have a chance at a similar breakout or resurgent 2015 season?
